STOVE..

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,686, dated January 25, 1887.

Application filed June 28, ISES.

To all whom it may concern.:

Beit known thatwe, .Liens F. Hess, Fannmeir H. SNYDER, LENERD Hnss, JACOB F. SNYDER, and CHARLES F. SNYDER, of Massillon, in the eountyof Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful improve ments in Stoves; and we do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description of the invent-ien, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which forni apart of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of our iniproved lieating-stove,showing portions broken away. Fig.2 is a vertical sectional view taken through the front side of the stove. Fig. 3 is a similar view taken on line x fr, Fig. 2; and Fig. L is a perspective view of the expansible magazine. l*

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Our invention has relation to that class of stoves for heating purposes usually called base-burning or magazine stoves; and it consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of such a stove,which is provided with an expansilole magazine and with a chute for iling the coal into the magazine, provided with a sliding damper, by means of which the feed-aperture in the tcp of the magazine may he closed, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A indicates the hod5T of the stove,which body is rectangularly prismatic and provided with suitable doors, B, in the sides, and the base of this body, which hase is lettered O, is provided with the firepot or furnace D and with the ash-pit Ewhile the upper end of the hodpT is covered with the top F.

The upper end of the bod57 of the stove is provided with small brackets Gr in the corners, and the lugs H, projecting from the corners of the top plate of the magazine I, rest upon these brackets supporting the magazine.

The magazine consists of the top plate, J, which is provided with the feed-aperture K at its middle, through which the coals are fed, and the side pieces, L, and the corner pieces,

Serial No. 206,410.

(No model.)

M, and the sides of the feed-aperture are 'provided with parallel flanges N N, which rise toward the forward side ofthe stove, forming a chute, O, opening through the top of the stove.

A damper, P, slides upon the top plate of the magazine and between the ianges,and the forward edge of this damper is provided with an upwardly-projecting delecting-ilange, Q, 6c

while the rear edge of the damper is provided with a handle, It, sliding through the side ol the stove, the dedecting-lange serving to prevent the coals, when fed into the chute7 from falling upon the upper side of the sliding passing from the lire-pot or furnace along the 7c sides of the magazine to the top of the stove, where it is carried away through the stovepipe.

The side pieces of the magazine increase slightly in width toward their lower ends,

having inclined side edges, and the upper edges of the side pieces are provided with upwardly-projecting perforated flat ears T, in planes at right angles to the planes of the side pieces, and these perforated ears pass up So through slots U in the top piece of the niagazine, and have rods V passed through thein, allowing the side plates to he thus hingedl to the top piece or plate.V

The cornerpieces of the magazine consist of plates bent at right angles and having slightly-inclined side edges, increasing in width toward the lower ends, and the upper ends of these corner-pieces are formed with lips "W, having perforations and passing 9o through diagonal slotsX in the corners of the top plate, pins Y, passing through the perforated lips or ears, hinging the corner-pieces upon the top plate.

The side plates are provided with strips or ingers Z, secured upon the outer sides near the lower ends of the side edges and parallel with the lower edges, the said strips or fingers being secured at their inner ends and projecting over the lower portions ofthe corner-pieces, 1 :o

and the lower ends of the flanges of the con ner-pieces are provided with outward]y-pro` jecting lips A', which will bear against the inner sides of the stove and prevent the side 'plates of the magazine from being spread so far apart that they would obstruct the smokepassages between the sides of the stove and the sides of the magazine.

It will be seen that the magazine Will be expanded when coals are filled into it, the Weight of the coals forcing the sides apart, and as the supply in the magazine decreases the side plates will fall back and by contracting `expose a smaller body of coal to the fire in the fire-pot, while when the supply is larger a larger body of coal is exposed to the action of the fire, thus equalizing the combustion in the fire-pot by exposing` a larger body of coals to the action of the fire when the magazine is expanded and consequently the draftis less, and exposing a smaller body of coal to the action ofthe iire when the magazine is contracted and the draft greater, the ire-surface, however, being smaller when the larger body of coal is exposed to the action of the fire, and larger when the smaller body of coal is exposed, thus causing the draft to be in inverted proportion to the body of coal exposed to the fire and in direct proportion to the amount of fire-surface exposed.

Having thus described our invention, we

claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of i the United States* 1. The combination of a heating-stove and a magazine, the lower end of which is below the smoke-pipe and expansible, as and for the purposeshown and set forth.

2. In a base-burning heating-stove, the combination of a body having brackets in the upper corners, a top plate for the magazine having a feedaperture and having lugs at its corners resting upon the brackets, side plates hinged at their upper edges to the top plate and having diverging side edges, and rectangularly-bent corner-pieces hinged to the top plate and fitting with the side flanges over the side edges of the side plates, as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

3. In abase-burning heating-stove, the combination of a body having brackets in the `upper corners, a magazine top plate having lugs projecting from its corners and resting in the brackets, and having a feed-aperture covered with a sliding damper and formed with slots in its corners and near its side edges, side plates having diverging side edges, and having perforated ears `at the upper ends secured through the slots in the top plate by means of rods, and having outwardly-pointing fingers or strips near thelower edges, and rectangularlybent corner-pieces having perforated ears at the upper ends pivoted upon pins in the slots at the corners of the top plate, and having their anges sliding under the fingers of the side plates, and having. outwardly-projecting` lips near the lower ends of the side flanges, as and for the purpose shown and setforth.

4. In a base-burningheating-stove, the combination of a stove-body having a feed-aperture in the frontside of the top, a magazine supported'in the stove-body andhaving afeedaperturey in its top, parallel flanges atthe sides of the feed-aperture and extended to form a chuteopening through the-feed-aperture in the top of the stove, and a damper sliding between the ilanges, and having a handle passing out through the back of the stove, and having an upwardly-projecting deecting-flange at its forward edge, as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

Intestijmony that we claim the foregoing as our own We have hereunto aixed our signatures in presenceof two witnesses.
